If you are tent camping this is the best spot, lots of room for multiple tents.

The site itself is beautiful. We started in #9, and it was by far the largest and most leveled spot we saw in the campground. Reservoir is a short walk and the water was crystal clear. Found a nice spot to setup for the day 100 yards from the boat launch. Think we even got lucky that no motorized boats were allowed while we were there. Peaceful and serene site.

This was our 6th visit to pass creek. It’s one of our favorites. This year there wasn’t a host so campers noise levels were louder and past 10pm and the toilet paper in the bathrooms never got restocked so it ran out. The lake was amazing especially because no boats were allowed so it was a paddleboarding paradise. Campground definitely needs a host or the host from east meadow needs to make the rounds and stock the toilet paper.

Been coming to Pass Creek for over 20 years. Always the same nice roomy camp spots / beautiful scenery / friendly camp hosts / best of all you can touch the stars at night.
